New Book Release — The Ten Commandments: A Short Book for Normal People

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jacksonville, FL — [August 25, 2025]

First Press Publishing is pleased to announce the release of The Ten Commandments: A Short Book for Normal People by Heath Lambert. This short, accessible guide walks through each commandment in Exodus 20 and shows how God’s words reshape everyday life—with clear explanation and practical steps you can begin using this week.

Why this book matters:

• It’s simple and pastoral: written for normal people, not specialists.
• It’s timely: the Ten Commandments confront today’s confusion about truth, worship, sexuality, family, work, and integrity—with grace and clarity.
• It’s practical: each chapter ends with “Taking the Ten Commandments to Heart” action steps for personal growth, family discipleship, and small groups.
• It’s gospel-centered: Jesus forgives our failures and empowers us to love God and neighbor—the heart of the whole Law.

Who this is for:

• Church members, new believers, and seekers who want a clear, friendly introduction to Christianity.
• Parents and families for mealtime or bedtime devotions.
• Small groups and Sunday School classes (easy 10-week series—one commandment per week).

What others are saying:

• “This little book will be a tremendous help to anyone that has had a two-dimensional understanding of the Ten Commandments. With insightful concision, Heath gets right to the power and gospel in each Commandment, taking us from the Law, right to the Gospel without skipping the demands! All throughout, he keeps us focused on the Savior who came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it! Can’t recommend it highly enough!”- CLINT PRESSLEY – SBC President and Pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church

• “I love Heath Lambert’s writing. He has a gift for communicating with clarity and power. And I love this project. Praise the Lord for the moral authority of his word! And praise the Lord for putting it on Heath’s heart to exposit the Ten Commandments for the people of God.”- JAMES M. HAMILTON JR. – Professor of Biblical Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Senior Pastor of Kenwood Baptist Church
